Learning Objectives

Write the equilibrium expressions for a given reaction
Calculate Q and compare it to K to determine if a reaction is at equilibrium
Manipulate K if a reaction is reversed or multiplied by a coefficient
Calculate K from given equilibrium concentrations, or if given K and all except one equilibrium concentrations, solve for the missing value
Calculate equilibrium concentrations (for one of the missing variables) if given any two of the following values: K, the initial concentrations, and/or one equilibrium concentration
Do calculations involving gaseous equilibria, partial pressures, and Kp
Use Le Chatelier’s principle to determine in what direction the position of equilibrium will shift when a change is imposed
